A Lover's Trap

A Painful End.

I woke up. I body ached. She probably knocked me out. I don't think I could ever sleep in this situation. She wasn't home. I hope she wasn't running any errands. The door was locked of course. I remembered what she said about knowing my secret. My dark secret. It wasn't exactly dark but it was one of those secrets that bare thought of someone knowing would make you shudder in terror.

I was so embarrassed too. She must've been in this house. While no one was here. She must have been stalking me since day one. 

A few hours later I heard a click. Maeve was home. Woo. 

Somebody tumbled down the stairs. Then another.

It was Cody and Mitchell. 

Mitchell's tape was ripped off his mouth like band aid by Maeve.

"At least Alex broke my rules with a girl. I never though I'd need to dispose of another boy like this." She muttered.

Mitchell looked at her with the most confused look I have ever seen him give.

"What the hell!? Is that why you were missing for a day? Your parents aren't here!? What is happening man!?"

I couldn't answer him.

Maeve lifted my chin up so I faced her.

"At least tell him honey. He's not going live anyways. I'm not mad at you baby." She grinned at me.

Please don't grin at me.

"What the hell Maeve!? Let all of us go god dammit!" Mitchell screams.

"Lemme encourage you to stop being so silent honey." 

Maeve smiles. She filed her teeth like knives. Her eyes had just about zero sanity in them.

She leaned towards Cody, my best friend,and ripped his chest open. With her monster like new teeth and nails. When she killed him, she recahed in for his heart. Ripped that out too.

And bit into it. In front of Mitchell and I.

We both gagged while she started to cry. Her mascara tears blackening her face.

"No one loves me do they!" She shrieks.

"All I wanted was to be noticed,loved,I didn't want to kill those people! I WANTED SOME LOVE NOT TO BE SERIAL KILLER. No matter what extent I go to...! I  will never get the one thing I want!!!! My family's dead. Now yours is too. But because I still love you...."

I watched Maeve untie Mitchell.

Mitchell stands up and stares at us.

Mitchell runs up to Cody's body and mutters some colorful words.

"SPEAK GOD DAMMIT LAWRENCE SPEAK. I DIDN'T RIP YOUR THROAT OUT LAST TIME I CHECKED!!!" She screamed in bloody murder.

Mitchell punches Maeve in the face. She stands with her hand on her nose in shock. As if she didn't deserve it.

"If you never wanted me then I'll leave you here to die. I have the key." Her slit wrists hold the keys.

"Mitchell...you better take him. He's the best catch. You may have fallen into my trap,but you seem to have found a way to crawl out......"

"This is for you Alex." She grabs a lighter from her pocket and sets herself on fire. That must've been how she killed Cassidy.

"Oh holy hell. What was she talking about Lawrence?" Mitchell said, fear rising in his voice.

I couldn't stand it. I had to tell him now. 

"Mitchell...after we get out...I need to tell you something."

The process we had to go through. It was tiring. They found the murderer. They gave us first aid for any injuries we gained.

Oh but Maeve. She did regret what she did. She needed mental help from someone. Anyone. It wasn't her fault she had no family and no one found her. She lived under the floors of a high school. That's not a home. She wanted some love,attention,she was alone in this world.

I may blame her for Cody's death,along with many many more, but I still had a heart. She wasn't a killer really. She was too far gone. She could've been normal. As for Mitchell...he accepted my feelings. I was gay for him of all people but I confessed. This may have been the end for a mysterious girl named Maeve, but I will take this as  lesson.

I wasn't the trapped by a lover. Maeve was the one trapped by loneliness.
